Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency, today announced that he sees no difference between the terms “Jewish National Home,” “Jewish Commonwealth,” and “Jewish State,”
Addressing the opening of the $4,000,000 United Palestine Appeal at Grosvenor House, the leader of the world Zionist movement said that “Jewish Commonwealth only states explicitly what is implied by the term Jewish National Home.” It is merely quibbling to differentiate between these two terms, he stated.
On the occasion of the launching of the United Palestine Appeal, Dr. Weizmann, Chief Rabbi Herz and a number of other Jewish leaders in England today issued a joint proclamation emphasizing that “the months ahead will be as decisive in Jewish history as they will in world history.” The proclamation stresses the importance of preparing homes for hundreds of thousands of Jews who will be rescued when Europe is liberated and points out that Palestine is offering homes to these Jews.
